Inner Attentiveness to the Lord

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Corinthian verse speaks not of marriage as such, but of attention. In Neville’s terms, the whole message is a statement about states of consciousness: the married mind is identified with the world’s demands—pleasing a spouse, managing duties—while the unmarried mind identifies with the Lord and remains holy in body and spirit. The outer arrangement merely reveals an inner alignment. When you believe you must shape others or satisfy conditions to feel secure, you are living as a thought in the memory of lack. The remedy is simple: assume you are already attending upon the Lord without distraction. Close your eyes to the clamor of circumstance and feel the I AM—the constant presence of God—here and now. Revise the belief that outer duties must precede your inner life; let holiness be your immediate sensation, a continuous quiet reverence in which all things are seen as reflections in the single consciousness. As you dwell in that state, the world’s claims fade, and your life aligns with the one living awareness. This is not escape; it is the creative act by which imagination births form.
